Oh my, how terrible. My lo is sick, and has been waking a ton so I know how you must be feeling. I would take a fresh look at everything: is she doing enough to wear her out during the day, napping enough, going to bed early enough, eating enough, comfortable at night, loud white noise, good temp in the house, nightlight, something that smells like you in bed with her, a good consistent bed time routine? After tinkering with those things, I would talk to her Pedi for suggestions. Good luck!

Same here but it gets to a point when he just stands in the cot crying I put him in the spare room and sleep with him there. I know this is just creating another bad habit but I need sleep. We did exactly the same with this one as we did with our 25 month old, he has always slept great. I guess this one is not a sleeper. I too am tired all the time, truly sucks!!

Well I had a full break down at 3am. After 14 months (and being 13wks pregnant) I just can't take it anymore. He slept through from 9 months to just effort his birthday. Since then it's a nightmare again. I have absolutely no advise to give but just wanted to let you know you're now alone.

When my son is teething he will not take good naps and he'll wake up alot at night. What have you tried to do to solve this problem? I usually give tylenol right before bedtime, and if it seems like the tooth is close to coming in (like the gums are red and he's cranky all day) I'll give a little bit of the baby nightime orajel.

Does she sleep with you still? Are you still nursing? It could be that she doesn't know how to fall asleep on her own. If that's the case, then I don't have much advice. Wishing you a full nights sleep in your near future.

Is she napping during the day? What time does she go down and what is your bedtime routine? When she cries in the middle of the night, do you go in right away? How do you get her back down?

Maybe someone will have some concrete ideas for you once we know a little more about what her routine is like.

My son was a real unpredictable sleeper until 11 months or so. He STTN now unless he's sick, although sometimes he'll wake once to nurse if he didn't eat much the day before. Is your daughter a pretty good eater?

Sorry you're going through this. You must be exhausted!

she plays hard at daycare. gets tons of energy worked off. eats like a horse at daycare...hit or miss at home (shes likes to watch n eat with other kids) we have a regular bath bottle bed routine. she is in bed by 7. has a combined 2-3 hour nap(s) during the day. I nurse once in am, once in pm, and during night wakes. she sleeps on her own, and goes down to bed without a peep (even for other ppl). she has music, also a portable heater that creates a white noise/night light. when she wakes I was working on leaving her (based on the sound of her cry) that worked for two weeks...still woke but put herself back to sleep within half hour. but now she's been screaming the past 2 weeks when waking...which is new...I'm just so exhausted. and I'm moving this weekend...I'm used to running on empty, but only cause I don't remember any different. but I'm getting so tired, I find I stumble to form full sentences, or can't think of simple words when I'm speaking...which makes Me feel like an idiot cuz I started a new accounting job in a head office 7 weeks ago. they probably think. a moron :-(

He STTN a grand total of twice in the last 14 month! and wakes once to 4/5 times a night for nursing. Letting him cry only makes him more awake and he never goes down on his own in the middle of the night. I get so exhausted during the day that I see black spots in front of my eyes! DH works crazy hours and studies at night so he's useless for giving me time off to rest (although I'm not complaining about that because he's doing his best, he just doesn't have time, leaves before DS is up and gets home just in time for dinner and then baby goes to bed). Anyway, obviously I don't really have any good advice to give you otherwise I wouldn't be in the same situation, but I just wanted to let you know that you're not alone in this situation.

My only help around the house is my wonderful 11 YO DD who, when she sees I'm about to drop, takes her brother for an hour so I can get a nap... maybe you could ask a family member or a friend to come to your house to watch your daughter every once in a while so that you can catch up on some sleep.

When I read your post it's like you're writing about me and DS!

How exhausting! I wonder what would happen if you shortened her naps and/or put her to bed a little later? If she goes down easy to begin with, you'd think she would be able to put herself back to sleep upon waking in the middle of the night.

How about a lovey? A favorite toy or security blanket in the crib at night? Maybe even a shirt or something that smells like you?

I feel your pain, because from when my oldest turned one until 2.5 years, i was up with him in the rocking chair every night...either from 1-4 or 2-5. I was exhausted, but was used to being up and it was just normal and part of life. Now, im not sure how i functioned!

I think some children just fall into these sleep habits, and they are just poor sleepers. My son is 5 years old, and still keeps me up for hours some nights.

Once we moved him to a toddler bed, his sleep habits got a little better. Hopefully, as your little girl gets older she will start to sleep better. I wish there was an easy fix for you, because I know how tiring it is. Im sure youre doing your best!

Hang in there! Its going to get better at some point!
